"It has not finished the first session yet, and it still has the other session to go. I think its record will be all right when they are finished."

"I certainly was. I wrote him a letter and told him I hoped he would run, so of course I am pleased he decided to do it."

"Just as soon as I am ready to make the nominations, I will announce them in plenty of time so that you will know it."

"When you are reasonable you can always come to a conclusion that will work."
